    “This is a most beautiful property and is immaculately kept.”

    We were worried about the parking but managed to get two Ford Kugas in the parking space with a tiny bit to spare. This really is an adults only property, there’s nowhere for children to run around. Also if you have mobility problems the steps up could be a challenge. The views are fantastic, to the right is Looe, to the left the Rame. We loved hearing the sea crashing on the shore during a storm, something we don’t hear living inland!

    We were worried about the parking but managed to get two Ford Kugas in the parking space with a tiny bit to spare. This really is an adults only property, there’s nowhere for children to run around. Also if you have mobility problems the steps up could be a challenge. The views are fantastic, to the right is Looe, to the left the Rame. We loved hearing the sea crashing on the shore during a storm, something we don’t hear living inland! Even in October we still managed to sit outside and enjoy the view. The local shop has shut for good which is a shame, so we picked up groceries when we were out and about, the nearest is Morrisons in Liskeard, but we also used Sainsburys in Bodmin and Tesco in St Austell. Like other visitors we found the recycling and rubbish collection very confusing. This should be made clearer and put by the back door. Where do glass bottles go? No provision for them, but one separate bin for cardboard and another one for paper when this could be combined into one box. The local council need to sort this out. On the Thursday before departing on the Friday I had an email from Sykes telling me to clean up, empty the bins and dishwasher and refer to the book in the house as to whether the beds need stripping. I have always done this in every property we have rented, but I found this very patronising and have never ever had such an email from any company that we have booked a holiday home from (I can understand that some visitors might leave a mess) but this email sent me and my daughter in a mad panic to vacuum everywhere and to sweep and clean the ground floor. This is not the way we want to spend an afternoon as we have obviously paid for the cleaning in with the booking. We also felt that we had done the cleaners job for them, all they needed to do was make the beds and clean the bathroom. This is was my only negative for the holiday All in all you won’t be disappointed if you book this property, we loved it. The owner has made provision for everything.

About the location

DOWNDERRY

Looe 6 miles; Liskeard 10 miles; Polperro 11 miles; Plymouth 18 miles.

Downderry is a small quiet coastal village situated in south east Cornwall. Downderry has a sheltered beach, deli, and a cliff top pub and an excellent restaurant, serving quality local food. At low tide it is possible to walk along the beach from Downderry to Seaton, where you will find a family friendly south facing beach and the nearby Seaton Valley Countryside Park and Nature reserve is home to wildlife, including otters and kingfishers and also offers great cycling and walking opportunities. The picturesque working harbours at Looe and Polperro are within an easy driving distance away, and the wonderful stretches of the South West Coast Path in this part of Cornwall take you to rocky coves, dramatic headlands and tales of shipwrecks and smugglers. Further afield is Plymouth, where you will find plenty to see and do, including a marine aquarium, a theatre, large shopping centres and the historic Barbican waterside area.
